System will now restart!
Modify the Host Name
Issue the hostname command in the command-line interface to give the new switch a unique hostname. (The
flash restoration process gave the new switch the same name as the existing switch.)
Do not save the configuration or write to memory at the end of this step.
(host)(config) #hostname <hostname>
Modify Topology Settings
This is required when migrating to a newer switch model. New switch models such as the OAW-40xx Series and
OAW-4x50 Series switches use a different port numbering scheme than other Alcatel-Lucent switches. Ports on
the newer switch models are numbered slot/module/port. Older switch ports are numbered slot/port. As a
result, flash backup files restored from older switches onto a newer model switches can cause the newer switch
lose network connectivity, as the imported port settings don't match up with the switch hardware. Additionally,
all ports will become untrusted when you import a configuration from an older model switch to a newer model
switch.
Use the interface range and switchport commands to reconfigure the VLANs and IP interfaces to match the
port scheme of that hardware model. To avoid network conflicts, this process must be completed before the
switch is connected to the management network.
If you are replacing a switch with the same switch model, you can skip this step and continue to Save your
Configuration on page 55
The following commands adjust the port configuration on the new switch .
(host) (config) #interface range gigabitethernet <slot>/<module-start>/<port-start>-<module-
end>/<port-end>
(host) (config-range) #switchport access vlan <id>
Because the physical ports don't match, the port trust is removed by default, and needs to be re-enabled. In
the example below, the Trusted column shows that the port trust is disabled for all ports.
(host) #show port status

Use the interface range command to re-apply port trust to all of the gigabit Ethernet ports on the switch.
Then issue the show port status command to verify port trust has been restored.
(host) (config) #interface range gigabitethernet <slot>/<module-start>/<port-start>-<module-
end>/<port-end>
(host) (config-range) #trusted
(host) #show port status
